359702 Two satellites, \(A\) and \(B\), have masses \(m\) and 2 \(m\) respectively. \(A\) is in a circular orbit of radius \(R\), and \(B\) is in a circular orbit of radius \(2 R\) around the earth. The ratio of their kinetic energies, \(\dfrac{T_{A}}{T_{B}}\), is

1 1
2 2
3 \(\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{2}}\)
4 \(\dfrac{1}{2}\)

359703 A sky laboratory of mass \({3 \times 10^{3} {~kg}}\) has to be lifted from one circular orbit of radius \({2 R}\) into another circular orbit of radius \({3 R}\). Calculate the minimum energy (in \({\times 10^{10} {~J}}\) ) required if the radius of earth is \({R=6.4 \times 10^{6} {~m}}\) and \({g=10 {~m} {~s}^{-2}}\).
